Some info for people who are following the rally online.

R5-entrants: Lefebvre (DS3 R5), Breen (DS3 R5), Bergkvist (DS3 R5), Riedemann (208 R5), Princen (208 R5), De Cecco (208 R5), Monfort (208 R5), Duval (i20 R5), Dilley (i20 R5), Cherain (Fabia R5), Bouche (Fabia R5), De Mevius (Fabia R5), Verschueren (Fabia R5), Baugnet (Fiesta R5), Fernémont (Fiesta R5), Vanneste (Fiesta R5), Litt (Fiesta R5)

WRC-entrants: Matton (C4 WRC), Bonjean (C4 WRC), Grooten (C4 WRC), Van Woensel (Lancer WRC), Allart (Fabia WRC), Canal-Robles (Fabia WRC), Delplace (Octavia WRC), Kenis (Mini WRC - actually RRC with WRC wing)

Several GT3's, plenty of Evo's Gr.N/Gr.A, probably a nice battle in R2 as well... I think some ERC events would be jealous of this list. Rumors are around that Condroz will be part of ERC next year, as Ypres is out...

Link for live results, the itinerary is on it as well: http://www.condrozmobile.be/speciales.html Tomorrow 4 stages shall be run in the dark. Beware that some delay is rather usual in this event...

Rain is predicted overnight, saturday should be quite dry, on sunday there could be some rain. Overall the stages will always be slippy. Tyre rules for all 4WD cars are same as in ERC, probably all drivers on softs for the whole rally.

Riedemann not on the startlist...
